A Halloween fundraiser by staff at some of the Hartlepool McColl's stores has raised £690 for the Hartlepool RNLI charity that saves lives at sea.

McColl's area manager Michael Johnson said: "The fantastic staff at the local stores held a variety of fundraising events such as cake stalls, face painting and raffles to coincide with Halloween and raised this impressive amount for the local RNLI station whose volunteers do a magnificent job."
